Normally the Springfield Daily Citizen would not name the person beaten in a domestic violence attack. But Renee Goodwin wanted to be named. And she did not want to be called a victim. "I'm a survivor," she told @JRehwaldSGF

"He was just love and light." A young, deaf homeless man took his own life. His friends are staggered by the loss, wishing that he'd been able to hear the sound of his great big infectious laugh. Story by @JRehwaldSGF

What? A fish that can breathe air and survive out of water for up to four days, if it stays moist! And it's been found in Missouri! I think I saw one thumbing its way along Interstate 44. Story by Carly Randles

Joe Hadsall is my newest newsroom colleague. He is our business reporter. He started yesterday. It's going to be fun! He's already made the infamous newsroom Quote Wall.
